Damascus Steel Leaf Necklace Forged to Finish Wearable Art

$139.99
These beautiful Damascus steel leaf necklaces are individually hand forged in rural Appalachia. Pattern welded steel or “Damascus” steel as it is typically called today , consist of taking multiple layers of contrasting steels and forge welding them together until they a solid piece of steel then manipulating that new bar of steel in some way to achieve a pattern. These Necklaces start out as a 9-14 layer stack of alternating 1084 and 15N20 steel. After several forge welding heats the billet is then drawn out into roughly 3/8” square bar. Now that the material is ready, the leaf is made by forging a pointed taper, that material is then flattened on the diagonal and spread width wise with a rounding hammer, next the stem is forged and the leaf is ready for hand sanding and heat treat (although it is unnecessary for ornamental items heat treating brings out the pattern more so I opt to heat treat). The leaves are hand sanded to 600 grit before and after heat treat. The last step consist of several rounds of etching, more hand sanding and finally a coffee “etch” to darken the dark steel while leaving the nickel steel shiny. Thanks for checking out my blacksmith shop! Carter Conley
